A day (or 2) late
I realize the the “International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women” was Nov. 25th. However, it’s never too late to post this.
The Faith Trust Institute has a declaration that states:
We proclaim with one voice as national spiritual and religious leaders that violence against women exists in all communities, including our own, and is morally, spiritually and universally intolerable.
We acknowledge that our sacred texts, traditions and values have too often been misused to perpetuate and condone abuse.
We commit ourselves to working toward the day when all women will be safe and abuse will be no more.
We draw upon our healing texts and practices to help make our families and societies whole.
Our religious and spiritual traditions compel us to work for justice and the eradication of violence against women.
We call upon people of all religious and spiritual traditions to join us.
Spread the word.

Free Hugs Campaign
Official Home of the Free Hugs Campaign - Inspired by Juan Mann
This is an inpsiring story. If you go to YouTube and look up “free hugs”, this seems to have inspired a movement of sorts. Hugs, that’s all. What does this say to the church?
